Dr. Samuel Brenton, V.S.

Dr. Samuel Brenton, V.S.

My grandfather's grandfather, Dr. Samuel Brenton, was a veterinary surgeon who emigrated to Michigan from Ontario, Canada and founded a veterinary practice in Jackson, Michigan c.1880. He eventually moved his practice to Detroit, Michigan (c.1887).

I have found that his parents were Francis and Elizabeth Brenton, formerly of Cornwall, England, and that they had emigrated to the area near Hayden's Corners in county Hastings, Ontario, Canada prior to 10 October, 1858 (the date of Samuel's birth), but can find no records of them or their predecessors.

Any information that anyone could provide regarding this [or any related] branch is most appreciated.
